D&D is so METAL

[Asmor]

As someone who could probably pass as a metalhead to non-metalheads, I don't mind the cookie monster comparison at all. It's rather apt, actually.

And C is for Cookie could make an awesome death metal song... Of course, we're talking old school cookie monster here. Compare (and remember to read them in a cookie monster (or growl, if you prefer) voice in your head):

C IS FOR COOKIE!
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

with

C IS FOR COOKIE!
A SOMETIMES FOOD!

Yeah, that second one definitely don't work.

Not specifically, no, but it's one of the many good Rush D&Dish tunes.

Yup. My adolescence: Pretty much defined by Rush and D&D.

Also, to that one guy, as a metalhead, I am tired (as are most metalheads) of the old, lame "cookie monster" crap that people use to describe growling.

Oh come on now, as a metalhead of 20+ years, I can totally see and accept the cookie monster analogy. I'm not much of a death metal or grindcore fan myself (more of a thrash, power metal and stoner metal fan), but I do like Sepultura and Fear Factory.

There was a point where the grindcore and black metal fans would look down their nose at the rest of us for not being "extreme" enough - if they had to face the fact that their beloved grunters sounded like a certain blue fuzzy muppet, so be it.

I thought "Cookie Monster" was pretty evocative; gave a good idea of what I meant and all...think of it as a shorthand.

But really, what should I call it that would make you feel OK inside?

Growling? Pass. I think of "growling" as being a low sound rather than somebody yelling as loud as they can.

Seriously man...C is for Cookie, and that's good enough for me.

Judge for yourself...

Napalm Death

Cookie Monster

There is a reason the comparison keeps coming up

Most death metal growlers don't "yell as loud as they can", that is what most metalcore singers do.

I'm sorry if I don't find amusement in an overdone, stupid thing that is mainly used by people that are uninformed about metal.
